In my teens, I would work at my oldest brother's in-law's small farm during school holidays. There was a cow that befriended me and would walk over to the fence for head "scritches" when it saw me. One evening, after work, we were having dinner and my brother said, "By the way, you're eating your friend." Quit eating "meat" at 14, expanded to other critters, then questioned why no one feels sorry for a fish; quit eating all flesh by the time I was 16; not exactly sure when that evolved to include all the other stuff like dairy and eggs. Eating your friend can change your life.
